Description:

H&E is an extensive records-only overhaul mod I made for personal use and is the product of countless abandoned campaigns over one frustration or the other. In a nutshell, it has:

1. Battles that are more or less the same length as vanilla, but no longer feel like a clickfest where you have to destroy 50+% of every unit and go until battle lines are non-existent before army rout
2. More realistic casualty rates from battle. Usually 10% for victors and only 25% for losers (ultra unit size)
3. Cavalry and ranged damage nerfed hard, infantry relatively less so. Morale, local superiority, and chain routs now the focus of combat
4. Projectiles made more realistic, and archers no longer a liability in melee
5. Romance and fantasy elements toned down for more historical immersion (Unbreakable, fatigue immune, tigers)
6. Campaign changes to linearize unit unlock progression, healthier army composition, less AI army spam, less slog
7. Rebalance mechanics or oversights that CA later added but left frustratingly imbalanced

For full changelist, see documentation here[cryptpad.fr]
